On the last episode, the 12 celebrities readied themselves for Latin Night, one of the hottest nights in the ballroom, with each celebrity performing either a rumba, salsa, samba, paso doblé, cha cha, or Argentine tango, on “Dancing with the Star.” At the end of the episode Geraldo Rivera and Edyta Sliwinska were the first couple sent home. Did you watch the last episode? If you missed it, we have a full and detailed recap right here for you.

On tonight’s episode as per the ABC synopsis, “each couple will dance to a song of the celebrity’s choosing that encompasses a memorable time or truly incredible experience in their life. These heartfelt performances promise to showcase some of the most exciting choreography and emotionally robust routines of the season yet. Viewers can expect to see Wanye Morris dancing to the powerful memory of singing the national anthem at the Olympics with Boyz II Men.

Kim Fields celebrating her bus trip from Harlem to Los Angeles, in which she landed a syrup commercial which ultimately led to her breakout role as Tootie on “The Facts of Life,” Von Miller reliving the year the Denver Broncos won the Super Bowl, which earned him MVP, and Marla Maples commemorating the year her daughter Tiffany Trump was born, to name a few. Each celebrity will perform a foxtrot, waltz, contemporary, samba, jive, tango or paso doblé.”
